city of oakland. we have some youtube video of people shooting fireworks toward a b.a.r.t. train, something you don't want to do. the fire department is teaming up with the oakland police department going to be patrolling, not only looking for fireworks but things like reckless driving and unruly crowds. the fire for being caught with fireworks. up to $1,000. if you've got a large stash that can include jail time and fines up to 5,000 to $10,000. it can be dangerous with burns to your face and legs and hands. especially in the hands of children. to get illegal fireworks off the streets oakland saet up throughout the city. they cloud the 1400 block of 14th street t 1200 block of east 14th, 1700 block of 50th avenue. and the 1400 block of 98th

try. and kids should never be allowed to use fireworks. berkeley schools are cracking down on students who bring guns to school. the school board will offer education for students and add new hall monitors who will look for suspicious activity at school entrances. this is at berkeley high school and berkeley academy. the board decided against installing metal detectors and dropped the ideas of closing berkeley high at lunch. a total of seven were arrested and expelled for bringing guns to school in six separate incidents. barely beating that deadline w. a few hours to spare oakland leaders agreed on a new budget. the council pass add budget before midnight that will impact the next two years. it closes a $58 million deficit. much relies on sweeping

concessions from city workers. the unions must vote on those so if they don't agree it means the city must find another way to make ends meet. a worker strike might leave many scrambling because this will be no ferry service from larkspur and sausalito today. damian trujillo is live where commuters are stuck in the middle of this one-day strike. good morning, damion. >> reporter: good morning. there is mass confusion. turns out there will be commuter service via the ferry service into the city. we got a news release from the ticket agents last night saying they were going on a one day strike. everybody came out to make sure everything was going to good smoothly. it turns out that strike has been called off. let me bring in mary for the golden gate consit. what's going on? >> yes, there will be golden gate service.

and we did make -- have on the table we'll find other jobs for these people in our organization. >> bottom line this will sail out of here. >> we'll go right on schedule and hopefully we'll be table to sail on through the day. >> mary curry. might be a scarce crowd because the parking lot is kind of empty. a lot of people probably got alternative plans. >> great news for commuters. thanks for that, damion. >> some transitingses are raising fees, hiking fees today on the bay bridge and all other six state-owned bridges in the bay area, tolls are going up for vehicles with more than two axles including big rigs and cars towing boats. the transportation agency is raising prices on monthly prices, $2 more for an adult, $1

weather at about 8:35, firk time it's kind of toasty near the coast. we'll get to that in a minute. high pressure has built in today. the storm track that was taken into the bay area brought us record rainfall. you might remember tuesday, the thing of the past, high pressure has taken control of our weather pattern. it's going to bring our temperatures up for the next couple of days. san francisco clear. i'm noticing a little fog around the coast. but it's really not that bad this morning. we're starting out mostly skier across the board. it's going to be hot inland. when you're starting out clear the sun is coming up. the south bay and the east bay. it's going to be hot. warm near the coast. weekend temps climb through sunday. for the fourth of july sunset at about 8:35 p.m. so that's when we start to see the fireworks go off. in the 60s on the coast and 80s inland.

>> good morning. welcome back. here is a live look over san jose. a beautiful start to your friday, july 1st. it's 5:42. word this morning there might be a deal in the works to stop the federal government from defaulting on its bills in august. we're now getting an example of what could happen if there is not a deal. tracie potts is live in washington with the details. good morning. >> good morning. were you watching what happened overnight in minnesota? it's almost echoing some of what we're seeing here in washington.

democrats and republicans couldn't reach agreement, one side wanted to raise taxes, the other refused. minnesota's government shut down at midnight. hoping to prevent that here in washington. hoping to prevent a default on bills come august. the debt talks that don't seem to have progressed far, a little light at the end of the tunnel now. there's talk of a possible deal where we cut $1 trillion out of the budget for now, allowing the u.s. to borrow $1 trillion and not default on bills for at least seven more months. there was another scenario if they can come to a deal on $2 trillion in cuts we could prevent that default until the end of next year. here's the problem. some republicans want the whole deal the entire $4 trillion that they have been working for. they don't want to see a short-term deal. they think we need to deal with this entire thing as one big package. over the course of the last couple of days the tone has

changed a bit. president obama you heard criticizing congress saying you don't need to take a break, stay here and deal with this. now we've seen back lash from republicans who say it's not us. don't complain that we're not here. it's the the president who is failing to lead so. the tone turning nasty as they try to work out this deal and avoid a default. >> thanks, tracy. 5:44. all of that sierra snowsmelt making parts of yosemite dangerous. two hikers are dead after they were swept into the reservoir. gregory meyer and richard fox were returning from a hiking trip when they fell in. three other hikers crossing the bridge were not hurt. the bridge is open to the public. rangers say water levels are higher than usual.

this is what we're left with. especially in places where you have that add add moisture, the soil is still damp. record rainfall. cold conditions earlier. as we see the sun go down at 8:35 on the fourth of july, temperatures are in the 80s, more like the 60s toward the coast. you might need a jacket if you are watching from the city of san francisco or -- even il roy san jose, it's going to be absolutely perfect at fireworks time on the fourth. a little hot that afternoon. 89 degrees for today in santa rosa, 75 in san francisco, 88 degrees in redwood city. here is your seven-day outlook. sunday is the hottest of the week. if you want to make those outdoor plans i think saturday and monday are your best bet. toasty on sunday. 105 in the forecast and the high in morgan hill, gilroy.

100 degrees in gilroy, that's hot. 92 degrees on tuesday. a little drop-off toward next week but above average for this time of year. keep those open toe shoes ready to go. >> i got them on, lots of ac this weekend. the gind giants licking their . ahead by one run thanks to pablo s sanibal. then the heart breaker, a home run that scores three. cubs win in extra innings, 5-2 the final. giants and tigers play at 4:05. wimbledon just about wrapping up this weekend with the ladies taking center court tomorrow. maria was sidelined with a serious shoulder industry and 200 sate getting back to health. she won in 2004 when she was
